74. are you seriously suggesting
that the US has the right to kill other people to protect a cheap supply of fossil fuels? Or other natural resources? That is exactly the reason we have supported tyrants and dictators around the globe: to secure the supply of raw materials we need to support our life style - and to hell with anything else. It is also at the root of the hatred and contempt felt for us around the world. And since it seems abundantly clear that that was why we went to war in Iraq...to secure a supply of the regions oil and to profit Halleburten et all...what exactly would be the difference between THIS war, and a war for the reasons you put forward?
